Notes from the Universe - TUT.com

When desirous of a life change, John-Derek, or any kind of a change, it’s wiser to start from a place like: “I am who I am today, where I am today, because this was my choice and it has served me well. However, it no longer serves me, my choices have changed, and I give thanks for the amazing changes that now sweep through my amazing life.“

Rather than, “I don’t know how I got here. I hate this. I must be sabotaging my own progress. I just won’t accept things as they are any more. I’m desperate for a change. By this time next year my life will totally rock!“

OK?? You don’t even have to remember the choices that led you to the day, but by understanding you made them, the kingdom, the power, and the glory knowingly become yours.

DailyOM Horoscope

Timely: Some further prompting from the Universe that change is in the air. I trust.

You may feel inspired today and motivated by the realizations that it might be time to make significant changes to your life. Perhaps you’ve been giving some thought to the quality of your relationships, health, work, or home life, and you see how you can take a specific area of your life to a new level. It may be a good idea to make a list of the changes you would like to implement. You can make another list of steps you could take to make each change a reality. Try to be honest with yourself and realistic about how long it may take to implement all the changes you want. It’s also good to be compassionate with yourself today because you may not be able to make those changes immediately.

Being able to honestly assess ourselves and our lives allows us to make changes that improve our overall reality. When we can tell ourselves the truth about what area of our life needs improvement, we can make the changes we need. We realize that we are the creators of our reality and do not need to look to anyone else as the source for any dissatisfaction we may be experiencing. Honestly assess your life today and your role in creating every aspect of it, and you will feel confident about making any significant changes you are ready for.

The Places We Go DailyOM

Timely: As I have questions arise about my purpose and what I really want to do with my life I seem to unconsciously slip into a place of victim hood. Being a victim of life..etc. It seems that the more I discover about myself the more darkness that arises to be dealt with and healed. This will be an amazing process!

In life, most of us want things to go to the places we have envisioned ourselves going. We have plans and visions, some of them divinely inspired, that we want to see through to completion. We want to be happy, successful, and healthy, all of which are perfectly natural and perfectly human. So when life takes us to places we didn’t consciously want to go, we often feel as if something has gone wrong, or we must have made a mistake somewhere along the line, or any number of other disheartening possibilities. This is just life’s way of taking us to a place we need to go for reasons that go deeper than our own ability to reason. These hard knocks and trials are designed to shed light on our unconscious workings and deepen our experience of reality.

Often it takes something major to wake us up, to shake us loose from our ego’s grip as it struggles to maintain an illusion of control. It is loss of control more than anything else that humbles us and enables us to see the big picture. It reminds us that the key to the universe lies in what we do not know, and what we do know is a small fraction of the great mystery in which we live. This awareness softens and lightens us, as we release our resistance to what is. Another gift gleaned from going to these seemingly undesirable places is that, in our response to difficulty, we can see all the patterns and unresolved emotional baggage that stand in the way of our unconditional joyfulness. Joy exists within us independently of whether things go our way or not. And when we don’t feel it, we can trust that we will find it if we are willing to surrender to the situation, moving through it as we move through our difficult feelings.

We can take our inspiration from any fairy tale that finds its central character lost in a dark wood, frightened and alone. We know that the journey through the wood provides its own kind of beauty and richness. On the other side, we will emerge transformed, lighter and brighter, braver and more confident for having moved through that darkness.

From The HeartMath Institute

“Everyone has potential … It is an infinite resource that cannot be exhausted, but can be lost in the clouds of fear and complacency. It may take courage to embrace the possibilities of your own potential, but once you’ve flown past the summit of your fears, nothing will seem impossible.” - Michael McKee
